（四）（2025·眉山）〔核心素养—思维品质〕
There was once a man who built his own house. It took him over a year to design and build every part of it. In the end, he had the most beautiful house in the neighborhood. Everyone that walked by would stop to _1_ his new house.
But as time went by, his house started to have some _2_. One day, a neighbor said, “Friend, it looks like your front yard is a bit overgrown（杂草丛生的）.”
The man replied, “Yes, I know. But it's Okay. I'll _3_ the grass tomorrow.”
A few days later, a friend came by. He said, “It looks like your windows are a bit _4_.”
The man replied, “Yes, I know. But it's Okay. I'll clean them tomorrow.”
Weeks passed by. The man's brother _5_ to pay a visit. He took one look at his saw. The yard was a mess, the paint on the walls was falling down and the windows were _7_ with dirt. The house looked like it could fall apart at any second—all because the man put everything off _8_ “tomorrow”.
When we procrastinate（拖延），“tomorrow” can turn into “next week” or _9_ “next year”. It's much better to just take care of things _10_ than to wait till some imaginary “tomorrow” that may never come.

答案： (四) [主旨大意] 本文通过一个人拖延修理房屋的故事，揭示了拖延的危害，告诫我们要及时行动而非等待“明天”。
1. D 解析：句意：每个路过的人都会停下来欣赏他的新房子。buy 购买；clean 清洁；build 建造；admire 欣赏。根据 the most beautiful house in the neighborhood 可知，房子很漂亮，路人应是欣赏。
2. C 解析：句意：但随着时间的推移，他的房子开始出现一些问题。event 事件；accident 事故；problem 问题；question 疑问。根据后文 front yard is a bit overgrown 可知，房子出现了问题。
3. A 解析：句意：明天我会修剪杂草。cut 修剪；plant 种植；pick 采摘；water 浇水。根据 it looks like your front yard is a bit overgrown 可知，前院杂草丛生，所以需要修剪杂草。
4. B 解析：old 旧的；dirty 脏的；broken 破碎的；dangerous 危险的。根据后文 clean them tomorrow 可知，窗户脏了。
5. D 解析：句意：男人的兄弟过来拜访。come in 进入；come out 出来；come on 开始；come over 过来。
6. A 解析：句意：他看了一眼他兄弟的房子，不敢相信他所看到的。believe 相信；find 发现；remember 记得；realize 意识到。根据“The yard was a mess… with dirt. The house looked like it could fall apart at any second”可知，房子状况极差，兄弟难以置信。
7. C 解析：根据“The yard was a mess… with dirt.”可知，此处是描述房子的糟糕情况，所以应是窗户被尘土覆盖。be covered with 意为“被……覆盖”。
8. B 解析：句意：房子看起来随时都可能倒塌——这都是因为那个男人把所有的事情都推迟到“明天”。
9. C 解析：句意：当我们拖延的时候，“明天”就会变成“下周”甚至“明年”。once 曾经；just 仅仅；even 甚至；still 仍然。next year 比 next week 程度更深，需用 even 强调递进。
10. B 解析：全文主旨是反对拖延，强调“今天”行动，所以此处指把今天的事做好。
